01x10 - Karyuusan no Maryuu

[bunniefuu]

Light and Darkness.

The final battle of the gods
cl*max in a clash between

Marfa, Goddess of All Creation,
and Kardis, Goddess of Destruction.

At the end of their fierce battle,
the stricken goddesses

had split the continent,
forming a new land.

Since then, people have
come to call this new continent

"Lodoss--The Accursed Island.”

The way that you
embrace me from behind

The words of your land
you softly whisper to me

Romantic in a way that
almost tears at my heart

I am your prisoner

lo sono prigioniera

Tonight you have gently bound
me up within your arms, my love

And even if the morning sun
rose upon the both of us

It wouldn't shine near as
bright as your dark eyes do to me

"The Demon Dragon
of Fire Dragon Mountain"

Fire Dragon Mountain. Home of
the foul fire dragon sh**ting Star.

So as to be part of the dragon quest,
Parn has joined Kashue's party.

Think it'll rain?

I sure hope so.

It's him!

Here he comes!

Fire!

Where the devil were our sentries?!

Here he comes.

Damn that...!

Parn!

Wait! It's too dangerous to go out!

Parn!

Parn.

Wait!

We're only after the
Scepter of Domination, right?

And it will be mine once
I defeat the Ancient Dragon.

You mean...?!

This sword calls out
for the beast's blood!

And for that, you will first
need to possess the Scepter.

You doubt my abilities?

But...!

Stand aside!

Only foolish humans or goblins
embark on hopeless battles.

"Hopeless"?

Don't underestimate the
might of an Ancient Dragon!

A scratch can grow
into a fatal wound.

One who dwells in Marmo
would do well to remember that.

Parn!

Recklessness isn't a virtue.

Well, maybe it is in your case.

Anyway, I can't shake the feeling
that thing was only toying with us.

Like we're just worms to it!

Worms have lives, too.

A person's life... A worm's life...
There is no difference.

Life is life!

Deed.

You allowed the High Elf to escape?

Forgive me, my lord.

And what of Pirotess?

Well, she's...

Gone to Fire Dragon Mountain?

Dark Elf in name, but a
woman all the same.

And you have the
gall to return here?

"Baylos, almighty power of
fiery destruction, come forth!

Baylos, almighty power
of fiery destruction...”

L-Lord Wagnard!

So, the Scepter of Domination
will come before the High Elf.

The "Dragon's Path"?

It sounds like an old legend.

Yes. In Flaim we have the ancient
legend of the Dragon Slayer.

At the end of the path supposedly
lies the dragon's fortress.

I getcha.

It's a back door right into
sh**ting Star's lair, right, Shadam?

Exactly.

In the past, many young warriors
dreamed of being the Dragon Slayer.

But none ever returned.

A gamble.

Quite, but I see no other way.
What do you all think?

It's risky.

Most certainly risky,
but not suicidal.

There's another part of the legend.

Three lances possessed
by Myrii, the God of w*r.

They'll help us to
seal the dragon's evil.

The priests are forging the
lances of Myrii as we speak.

Right, we'll set out as
soon as they've finished.

King Kashue, take me with you!

You want so badly to go?!

Yes, sir!

One condition. No reckless
heroics like before.

Will you follow my orders?

Yes, Majesty!

Slayn, I fear the situation
is worse than I imagined.

Then, Lodoss...

Faces a grave ordeal.

Mother.

Your powers will be necessary.

--If I can be at all helpful...
--I shall help as well.

Leylia.

Slayn, take care of her.

Marfa. Give us strength.

Now is the time.

Take me with you.

And if you get in my way?

Then k*ll me.

As you wish.

Let's go!

So, this is the Dragon's Path.

Highness, take this.

Believing in Myrii's divine
protection and in your own power,

may you bury yourself
into the creature's heart.

The wound you inflict
will be surely harsh.

--Shadam, I leave the rest to you.
--Yes, sir.

Grant him a safe return.

Let's go!

It splits off.

-I'll check it out.
--Wait!

Remember, the obvious path
is often the wrong one.

Meaning we go this way.

Don't touch it! You'll be burned!

Shirts!

"Sylph, spirit of wind. Let thy
winds shield us from the flames...

Sylph, spirit of wind. Let thy
winds shield us from the flames!"

Quickly now!

Deed!

Run! Don't even think
of trying to fight it!

Wh-What in...?

Wait!

"Divine power, buried since
ancient times, reveal thyself..."

It must be... Highness!

Here.

I can feel the beast's bloodlust.

What's wrong, Deed?

Someone's here!

An odd place to meet,
is it not, Mercenary King?

Ashram!

Ashram! You devil!

Wait!

The little whelp from before.

What are you up to?!

What if I said it was the
possession of Lodoss?

What?!

Would you be so kind as
to come to me this time?

You...!

You've improved.

I think you said something
about a sword not being a toy!

But still so easy.

Lord Ashram!

The fire?!

I see. The Scepter of Domination
controls the dragon as well!

--That's...!
--The Scepter of Domination!

Impossible!

Parn, we can't let the Marmo have that!

What?!

The Dragon Slayer, eh?

I shall be the one to
bring the beast down!

--Stand aside!
--No! It's impossible!

The Scepter of Domination is ours!

--Let's do it, Parn!
- Right!

It's too dangerous! Sylph, protect him!

For... the conquest... of Lodoss...

Pirotess!

We have to get out of here!

Parn, hurry!

First encountered amidst flame,
Ashram disappears amidst flame.

Their meetings were marked
more by the crossing swords

than by the exchange of words.

Yet Ashram's silent death has
engraved itself upon Parn's heart.

Let the wonders come to me

The Fantasia fills my heart

I shall not wander anymore,
all for the love I have for you

The fairies of the wind,
spread their wings out to fly

Racing at the speed of light,
down through the valley of time

Our falling in love was destiny

On this night which
seems to have no end

Eternity awaits you and me,
now that you are here

Lay down your head upon my breast,
and go to sleep, my love
